Superman: Deadly Legacy is a special-edition "humanitarian comic book" featuring Superman[1] that promotes "landmine awareness" among children, particularly from countries where there are active landmines after war. The Superman comic book was published by DC Comics, the United States government, and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) in 1996.[1] In Superman: Deadly Legacy, Superman – a well-known superhero in the United States and Europe – acts as a teacher educating children about the dangers of landmines. The target countries for disseminating copies of the comic book include Bosnia,[2] the Former Yugoslavia, and Kosovo.[3]
In Bosnia, the free comic book was distributed by a peacekeeping force led by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Mine Action Center located in Sarajevo.[2]
